Ima throw some guess here since chapter 2 is steadily approaching.

Since chapter 2 is labeled as the Phoenix Saga, going off that... If I were to guess, I think Emma has a decent shot of making a debut, but like mid year. Since she played a role on the Phoenix resurrection in one of the animated show (Although, I know that the dev is building their own stories, with some small correlation from the shows and comics, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just throwing a huge curveball here).

Depending on how closely they're following the comics Phoenix Saga also probably means Hellfire Club. I'm going to guess Emma Frost first appears as an antagonist, then takes on a chapter 2 Storm-like roll before becoming a class teacher at the beginning of chapter 3. The devs have also said they want to add "flings," one-off non-romances. So Emma could possibly fill that roll for chapter 2, or be retconned into it later if the flings are further down the development calendar.

Kitty Pryde had been in the comics for a decade at this point, so I'm going to guess she's going to be the inexperienced freshman who just discovered their powers and you have to help her learn to control them roll.

My guess for third girl is going to be somebody out of left field no one expects. She'll also be one of the "friends" that was gossiping about Jean in chapter 1. Not sure which character they'd use for this one. Unless the curve ball is they aged down Emma for this version. "Befriending" Jean just to gossip about her would be on-brand for Emma. If you want both you're going to have to get them to reconcile. It would tie nicely into Dark Pheonix being the chapter two boss (just my guess at this point).

If they go off the original comic story then Emma would be in the Phoenix arc as a villain in the Hellfire Club. That could be really interesting if part of her story in this game in playing through her redemption arc where she realizes she cares more about taking care of kids that she does being a rich bitch. But I imagine if she's a villain for Ch. 2 then you probably won't be redeeming her till Ch. 3 or later.

Haha great minds I guess.

I don't think they'll be too out of left field at least for the first couple chapters. There are a lot of core X-girls that need to be included first. But Psylocke could be an interesting unusual choice for that storyline. Or Jubilee.

Dazzler was in the comics at this point. But honestly I don't think anyone even cares about Dazzler. Jubilee could easily fill the exact same roll, with basically the same powers and more character development to draw from.

From a narrative stand point I just don't see Kitty and Jubes being introduced at the same time since they both filled similar rolls when they were introduced almost a decade apart.

I had a problem with the previous update (not the latest one released). even though I had told each girl to have a relationship with the others, when I opened the game after that update, one by one they came to talk to me about this fact, significantly lowering the level of trust. Was I the only one who encountered this problem?

No, you're not.

I started a new game on 0.4b and focused on Rogue. When her numbers were high enough, I told her that I wanted Jean. I got the go-ahead to do so. I started messing around with both Jean and Rogue to the point of, grinding with Jean, vaginal and anal sex with Rogue, and sleeping in their bedrooms, while basically ignoring Laura.

About an in-game week or two later, Rogue gets mad at me about Laura.

That said, I have a monogamy save with Rogue only, and a harem save for when I'm horny, so I've yet to see if this happens when only sticking to one girl; no dates, no gifts, no going into their rooms at night, basically doing nothing that I think the video game may count as cheating.

Can't say anything for a pure 0.5a play-though at the moment.

Yeah, something seems definitely out of whack or buggy with the relationship/jealousy flags in the game.

I started playing a few days ago on the newest version. Focused on Rogue. Friendly with the other two, but no dates. At over 800 Love/Trust I ask Rogue if it's ok to date others. She's ok. I ask for Laura, Rogue agrees. But the next time I sleep alone in the MCs room, Rogue comes in and is pissed that I'm dating Jean, even though I've interacted with her the least and definitely did not date her.

Kind of annoying, as I am not sure if I have save before this flag was applied or how far back this save would be.
I really hope an overhaul of this issue is a priority in the next patch, as stuff like this can REALLY drive away players. I would be much more willing to tolerate an occasional crash or so, than have the game basically be "mad" at me for something that did not happen....

Edit: I tried to double check and this only seems to happen, if I ask to date other people. But again, no idea why it would trigger jealousy in regards to Jean...

Yeah, this was a problem in 0.4a that still persists in this version. I've detailed this fully here (as well as how to fix it code-wise.).
For now, if you're using my cheat, you can turn off someone being mad to mitigate this. To prevent it all together, don't flirt at all when any of the 3 main girls are around. And I don't mean just on screen, even if they're just in the room but not on screen any flirting, could be compliments, could be holding hand, all of it is counted as flirting.

Can you send me a save? It sounds like you flirted with Jean without Rogue's permission

Ok, this can't be only me...
Take this scenario:
1718594021460.png
1 - let's repeat to be safe that laying down removes both croch and ass touching options without adding anything!
2 - auto progress for some reason makes scene ultra laggy, plus the flavor text is rushed - 3 msgs one after another, and then there's nothing for the remaining 80% of progress bar. They should be spaced out to fill the time!
3 - soon after player is given the orgasm choice - while I was just satisfying girl practically. Shouldn't there be some check if there was any player-focused action, and the "where to cum" shown only then? Alternatively change text - make girl ask if you don't want a release too?

I'll give your mod a shot. Though, at this point, I've gotten used to the dev team [incidentally] giving the game parts of Persona 3's social links (the original and FES, not Reload), and now I just look at Rogue in the same way as
You must be registered to see the links
since her getting mad for a week doesn't have the same effect as snubbing
You must be registered to see the links
or
You must be registered to see the links
on Valentine's Day.

Keep in mind that turning off her being mad is a mitigation, not a solution. The cheat flag will still be there. It may inhibit other things. But at least you'll be able to continue with things like dates or sex.

Love love love the game. One question though...
All girls are max love and trust...
How many gaw-ram friggin cheese-&-rice Jesus h on the Ferris wheel mutha bitch bastard times do you have to swim/sun bathe/etc with Jean and Laura together to get Jean to be ok with you seeing both? Anna is a total sub at this point and Jean is ok with her. Please tell me I'm missing something, preferably what that something is. Thanx
